Sumedha is a long-tusked bull that roams Minneriya and Kaudulla at certain times of the year, and has also been seen around Kalawewa, Kekirawa, Ganewalpola and Namal Uyana. On 7 March 2025 a tusker believed to be Sumedha was hit by a lorry on the Habarana–Maradankadawala road near Galapitagala and lost a tusk said to be over five feet long. Wildlife teams searched for him for treatment but did not find him, and his fate is not confirmed.
